<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 1602742, member: 21015"]I like this method, and wish more people would use it. I will also ask if the price quoted is negotiable if I feel it is a bit high, but if they say that they are giving me their best price, or I feel like they are not wanting to go lower(some dealers have learned to play the I'm losing money on every deal act pretty well.) I will usually say "thanks I'll have to think about it", or just "OK thank you" if I feel their price too far away from my idea of a price to negotiate. If the price is close, I may look over the rest of their inventory to try and work out some kind of deal on multiple items. </p><p> When I am selling, whether in person or online, if asked or an offer is made, I will usually counter with what I need to get. Negotiating a price takes time and you will not always be able to strike a deal, but being respectful will pay dividends in the long run.</p><p>One thing that irritates me, and there seems to be one of these guys at every show, and it's usually a bullion deal. Guy asks price, dealer quotes price, guy quotes Spot/Price guide/friend/whatever as going rate.

I just don't know that I would be able to keep it cordial with that kind of negotiator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
